the absence of fear
never underestimate the power of denial...
someday he'll pay attention to me... someday he'll just relax and sit with me in the quiet… someday we'll have more time together… someday I will be able to talk without fear… someday I will be completely loved just as I am… someday it will be better… someday…
we justify our fears… we justify our choices… we justify our rights and wrongs done…
we justify the "whys"…
"i'll do whatever you want God; just let me have my way… "
i adore the spirit cd by jewel… so full of self exiling lyrics and perspectives… it is my fav cd of hers… as a songwriter… I find this cd to be one of her best… very down to earth and honest… love how she does that… if you've ever seen her live; you know how fabulous she really is as an artist… she has such a great way to draw you in and experience her style… her world… her lyrics… her background… her trademark… she is unique as an artist in that respect… appears to stay true to herself and her music…
i've been in a self discovery mode these days… looking at the world through rose colored glasses over the past two years has made it mandatory now to wake up and really listen the music…
do you know what that is like…
do you…
absence of fear; jewel
Inside my skin there is this space
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches
Inside my heart there's an empty room
It's waiting for lightning
It's waiting for you
And I am wanting
And I am needing you here
Inside the absence of fear
Muscle and sinew
Velvet and stone
This vessel is haunted
It creaks and moans
My bones call to you
In their separate skin
I make myself translucent
To let you in, for
I am wanting
And I am needing of you here
Inside the absence of fear
there is this hunger
This restlessness inside of me
and it knows that you're no stranger
you're my gravity
My hands will adore you through all darkness aim
They will lay you out in moonlight
And reinvent your name
For I am wanting you
And I am needing you here
I need you near
Inside the absence of fear
